Lake Titicaca large freshwater lake in the Andes mountains on the border of Bolivia and Peru. the surface elevation; 3,812 m, and having an average depth of 107 m. It is the largest freshwater lake in South America and the highest of the world's large lakes. The lake is million years old. The river outflow is only 10%, as the rest of the outflow is due to evapotranspiration, caused by the unusually dry air. Even though Lake Titicaca is at this high elevation, the lake does not freeze over, and the weather is not as cold as could be expected.
The most famous sight on the lake is the floating islands, built on dried reeds. Reeds are also the building material for houses and boats. There is a fair amount of fish in the lake, including trout. We also went to an ancient burial site, high above Lake Titicaca.
